Rhinestone Rhino

Ah’m a rhinestone rhino
From the lone star state
Ah’m a Country n’ Western
All time great

Ah’m a ten-ton Texas
Bunch o’joy
Ah’m a rhin-o-ceros
Good ol’boy

Ah’m a rhinestone rhino –
ceros yodel-ay-ee

At the Grand Old Opry
Ah’m a superstar
When ah sings ma songs
And strums ma gui-tar

Ah began ma life
In a country shack
Now ah rides around
In a Cad-ill-ac

Ah’m a rhinestone rhino –
ceros yodel-ay-ee

There’s Tammy n’Dolly n’
Emmy Lou
And Johnny Cash is King
It’s true

But the pride of Gnashville, 
Tennessee 
Is your five-by-five star
Lil’ ol’ me

Ah’m a rhinestone rhino –
ceros yodel-ay-ee

Ah’ma rhine –
stone
rhino –

ceros 
yodel
ay - 
eeee
